Audiogon is a great resource for finding gear, but it's typically higher end gear. My only caution w/ buying older tube gear is the condition. Most folks now-a-days research the internet to find out what their "junk" is worth. If you're picking up an older tube integrated amp for next to no money, make sure you audition it first. Check the sound a lower levels, as a lot of background noise is hidden at higher levels. If you hear any, there's a good chance the unit needs a good cleaning or worse, the tubes are on their way out. You're looking at $50 to several hundred for that.
